From the point of view of both buyers and sellers, this panel will discuss non-governmental organization (NGO) impacts on business, regulation by retail (“If you want to sell to me, agree to my terms/code of conduct”), vendor management, questionnaires, representations and warranties in contract, change terms of purchase orders, corporate codes of conduct, hazardous or other materials/chemicals in products, NGO engagement and other tricks and tips to navigate this increasingly complex landscape.
